Why it’s different
Clinical analyzer platform with automated incubation, timing, and reading
Batch throughput: up to 12 tests/run for busy programs and clinics
Refurbished & validated: each unit is function-tested and documented prior to shipment
Support + 1-Year repair warranty included (extended options available)
Two bundle choices: Analyzer Only or Pro Accessory Kit (turnkey start)
Validation note: This configuration is validated for canine progesterone testing. Other assays are not validated for canine use on this platform.
How it works (simple workflow)
Collect whole blood → spin to serum (or plasma per kit IFU).
Pipette sample to the test device (per kit instructions).
Load up to 12 tests; start the run.
Analyzer incubates & reads automatically; results display and can print to the included thermal paper (Pro Kit).
Typical run time: ~45 minutes for a full 12-test batch. Single or partial batches run proportionally faster.

ROI snapshot (example)
If you currently outsource progesterone testing, bringing it in-house reduces turnaround time and per-test cost.
A single busy cycle (multiple tests + repeat clients) often offsets a meaningful portion of the analyzer investment. Ask us for a tailored ROI sheet.
